Welcome to Nurturing Birth

Hi, I'm Sarah and I've been in the birth world for more than 15 years, I have enjoyed a successful career as a birth and postnatal doula. Now, as the owner of Nurturing Birth I am dedicated to helping YOU become the doula you have been dreaming of, it honestly gets me fired up to see our doulas shine and get themselves out there where they are so desperately needed.

So, I'm guessing you already have a passion to support people during the perinatal period and that's what brought you here, that's the easy bit and we're here to help you with the rest, so you can fulfill that passion and become a bloody marvellous doula.

Nurturing Birth has been evolving, growing and improving since 2005 (yes, we're celebrating our 20th birthday later this year-bring on the cake!!!) The world of doulaing has changed a lot in recent years and so have we.

The NB course prepares you with a deeper understanding of the complexities of our role (we go deeeeeep) but beyond that it also answers all the burning  questions you have.

"How the heck do I find clients?"  "How do I set up a self-employed business?"  "I'm a people-pleaser, so how can I work safely and effectively?" "Why would anyone choose me as their doula?" "How do I set up a website?" plus a million other common questions....

More than anything, I want you to succeed and to build businesses which suits you, which makes you proud and also provides an income you won't wince at. It's no good being an incredible doula if you don't have the tools and support to run a serious business. We work hard at building community and connection because doulas thrive when they are held by by other doulas and we learn from one another constantly.

At Nurturing Birth we are a team (from all over the UK and worldwide) and we've all walked the path you're about to walk. We've had to overcome the hurdles, we've built our own individual doula businesses, we've navigated tricky clients, we've enjoyed the highs and lows, we've learnt from our mistakes and, of course, we've all done tax-returns!!! 

Our doula course is available either in-person at various UK locations, where we hang out in a home from home environment (bring your slippers) or we offer the same course in groups online (also, bring your slippers!) 

Whether you are based in the UK or anywhere around the globe, we invite you to join our nurturing community. We all know the world would be a better place with more doulas in it.

Big doula love,

Sarah x
